Ratings and Reviews
Problem with digital subscription
After purchasing the subscription on my iPAD via iTunes, the option to register my digital subscription vanished from the settings menu. I see no other way to read The Economist on my other devices :(.
New update is garbage
The economist seem like they dont try out anything new before they publish it. The audio download isn’t intuitive, the app icon switched with another app and I now have to download the audio as a whole.
You’d think for the money the economist makes they wouldn’t be such crap. I waited a few months for the double speed option to come back.
Not a reliable service and, sadly, consistently correcting after the fact.
I hope whoever is in charge of this updates is fired and find a hard time landing a job.
The content is great but the not intuitive process to reach it is impossible. I wonder what I pay for, as the 20 minutes I lost trying to understand the new update clearly isn’t it. Good luck to the newspaper and I hope the tech and app department go back to resining school as they clearly don’t know the basics of Ux.
App flickers and no more “look up” words.
The app keeps flickering when moving between articles, even after I bought the newest mobile device. It also keeps jumping back to tue beginning of the issue rather than return to the latest article I read.
Also, why was the feature of “looking up” words been blocked?
